Having a 4 and 2 year old I did not read the article, the headline turned my stomach enough. Prayers for the Cunningham family.
I'm in the same position, nearly 4 and nearly 1. I heard about it on Mike and Mike this AM and it unnerved me pretty bad.

Same here...my boy is two...also have a hot tub. We keep it covered at all times even though he can't get up into it.
I hate hearing tragedies like this.

A terrible situation. I cannot understand a 2yr. old being left unsupervised in a body of water for any reason.
My prayers will be with the Cunningham family, may his son RIP. Negligence would apear to be of concern here.
A terrible tragic situation. Many lives are forever altered....

Sometimes kids get away from you, last week my daughter snuck upstairs and decided to put on $30 worth of my wife's makeup. Pretty innocuous, but we were like damn, if she can get away from us to do that, what else can happen. It prompted a full day of childproofing. I think the lesson is with little kids, don't own a hot tub or a pool, unless you have a foolproof way of locking them out of it. They're drawn to fun stuff like this.
They tend not to rule negligence on something like this unless there was something appalling going on. The legal system understands that kids get into stuff.

I have a 4 yr old son & 10 month old daughter. Without them Lord knows where i would be they keep me level-headed and so peaceful. I couldn't imagine losing them they are what i live for. I hope he doesn't blame himself for this it's very easy to do. God Bless the Cunningham family & give them strength to overcome this tragedy.

Kids can sneak away (not really trying to sneak away) and things can happen before you know they are gone. Me and my daughter where going out side last week but I had to get something and I thought my wife was putting on her shoes. Next thing I know my wife is running out the door and returns with our daughter. I didn't even know she could open the door and its a good thing my wife heard our daughter calling for me. Thats is the first time that has ever happened but what if she did not call for me and instead wondered out into the street. We now keep the door locked but its just a matter of time for her to figure out how to unlock the dead bolt.
